In 2004 Great Brittan has lost one of its greatest characters, Fred Dibnah the famous Steeplejack from Bolton.

​

We were honoured that in the early 1990s our film crews had the opportunity to spend a 12 month period filming the life of Fred Dibnah. This was when Fred was still working as a Steeplejack, and earning a living climbing up, and knocking down chimneys. Our film was made shortly after Fred’s hit BBC 2 series “A year with Fred”, and includes rare footage of the Fred Dibnah a nation came to love.
